The last bottle of this I opened tasted sharp and thin--damaged perhaps. This one is true to form--gorgeous and ripe, minerally, earthy, and balanced. Running out of adjectives here. Oh, yeah, one of my favorites: refreshing.

Did not have the same experience as others with this wine. Initial aromas of topsoil, cherries, berries, leather, and stone--all echoed in the palate. As it opened, the fruit came forward a bit more. I loved it, thought it was a terrific example of a very restrained CduR.

Light bodied and pretty simple, but tasty. Not very fruit forward, however.

Rosso: Very good forward berry notes, good structure & bal; not powerful or complex, but very tasty, richer CdR. Yum.

Nice sturdy cotes du rhone -- good fruit and nice balance on the oak. Great for an everyday wine.
